Subject: Youth Guarantee

*Applications for 2025 have now closed.

Created specifically for people aged 16 to 24, the Youth Guarantee programme provides opportunities for young people to gain qualifications and skills that lead to further study or employment. Priority is given to those who have not yet achieved NCEA Level 1 or 2.

The programme is designed to consider the whole person – building social, academic, and employability skills in a supportive environment. Engaging outdoor activities help grow confidence, foster teamwork, and break down social barriers.

Transport assistance and pastoral care support, including guidance and mentoring, are available to eligible students, subject to conditions.
